Battery Charging Instructions

Keeping your battery bank energized is very important. Although a battery bank can last for many years if properly cared for, it can also be ruined in a short period of time if neglected.

Battery Charging Setpoints

To preserve your batteries always follow your battery manufacturer’s recommendations using the following information:

•Absorb Voltage

•Float Voltage

•Equalize Voltage

•Recommended Depth of Discharge (DOD) of the batteries

These Absorb, Float, and Equalize voltage set points should be programmed into the FX through the MATE (see MATE User Manual).

Maintenance

Please contact OutBack Power Systems Technical Services for any FX repairs due to malfunctions or damage. For routine, user-approved maintenance:

•Disconnect all circuit breakers and related electrical connections before doing any cleaning or adjustments.

•Solar modules may produce hazardous voltages when exposed to light; cover them with opaque material before servicing any connected equipment.

•If a remote start system is used, disable the automatic starting circuit while servicing it to prevent starting while servicing.
